Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a surprising delivery. Write or say a short playful pair of lines using a rhyme you hear in your own speech. Explain any pronunciation difference instead of treating one accent as better. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Listen to the ending sound rather than matching letters only.
